it's you men and your aggressive button pressing, lol. seriously though, my ex did this all the time when he drove my car, and I had never done it before and thought he was crazy. when I tried to, it took me a few tries and I had to press pretty hard for the horn to honk. just cool it down! you don't have to press the button that hard to turn the volume up and down or whatever

Its hard to tell how deep the gash is but if you dont have a flat by now then you should be fine. just try to avoid hitting that spot again or you will probably have a problem

You should cut it off and see what's exposed or try to fix the appearance with very delicate applications of a torch lighter. Gotta be like a surgeon's hand with that though... (same goes with fixing interior trim flaws) I don't get how people accidentally honk @_@ Find it rather hard.
